Coach Spencer has been a coach since 1976 (Lacrosse and Football) and has some really great stories, we hope you enjoy. Thanks again Coach!
In this episode, Mark Hopton sits down with myself and Adam to talk about leadership, relationship building and what he does to consistently push himself forward. Mark has always been someone that when you talk to him, you can tell and feel that he genuinely cares about you and the conversation. He is a great listener, communicator, and leader and I think that energy comes across very well in this episode. Mark is a Human Resource Leader at CT Consultants, long time area football coach and former collegiate athlete.
On this episode I meet with a former player of mine, Alex Valletto. We discuss where he finds his drive and self-discipline, a little bit of his background as well as what he sees in the commercial real estate market.
